Well we have been seeing lots and lots of this wonderful deli called Katz's in Brooklyn, NY. If you haven't heard of it, you've probably been living under a rock or grew up in a coconut. The staple of the Lower East Side since 1888 (yes! 1888), Katz's has been doing their deli thing the right way for some time now. Generations of family through, some of the best deli sandwiches are pumped out on a daily basis out of this old school shop.

One of their most famous sandwiches is their Pastrami Sandwich. Built like a Reuben, their hot sliced pastrami goes on top of classic, seedless rye bread, topped then with sauerkraut, swiss cheese and their house Russian dressing. We gave it a whirl on our Baking Steel Griddle to show all of you at home you can get pretty damn close to perfecting this sandwich at your own fingertips.
